Gaudy as a Butterfly.

Butterflies are insects that have a sucking mouthpart, slender body, rope like, knobbed antennae, and four broad, usually brightly colored wings.
They play a role in adding colours to this planet, beautifying the world.
Of course, you better don't have butterflies in your stomach when you are sitting for your exam.

The day after sitting for our maths paper, my wife² and i traveled long way down to Teluk Bahang, to pay Penang Butterfly Farm a visit.
Wow, we've never been there for ages.
I went there when i was still a kid and that time, i was damn afraid of the butterflies.
But this time, i did really enjoy myself watching them flying here and there.

It was a sizzling hot day.
That was alright, as we had a fantastic time at the farm.
There are not only butterflies, but also very viewtiful Mandarin duck, beetles, huge fishes etc.
Well, let me introduce you to the farm residents!

The wonderful metamorphosis, starting with tiny little freaking caterpillars.


And then, the caterpillar is turning into a cocoon.


Miracle happens, it turns into a colourful butterfly. Something similar to the Ugly Ducking story.


It's show time! Let me present you the very best collection of my wife²'s snapshots of the day. Enjoy.












A Hibiscus with a red butterfly? What a match!








It seems like butterflies are very vain too.


A beauty PK match?


WTF are they doing?? Mating la, of course.






The art of camouflage.












The other non-insect residents, Mandarin ducks.




The eldest among all, horseshoe crab and alligator snapping turtle.




Scorpions and fluorescent scorpions.




Rare horned frogs.




By the way, there are a lot of geckos there, monitor lizard, beetles, tarantulas, giant millipedes etc.
But, i am too lazy to post the pics up, sorry fellows.
Besides, we did buy ourselves souvenirs.
We are absolutely satisfied by the experience we've gained and the price we've paid.
You should go and check it out, the nature's beauty.
And, please, save the earth too!


True Colours!
